Need help with communication/DB strategy:
I thought I have managed to postpone D speech number 2, but it seems that I haven’t. For 10 days H has asked to “talk about our separation” and I have delayed, vanished from skype, responded to his emails and phone calls a day late. Still, today he asked again in an email when we are going to talk.

My IC suggested that I agree to talk with him and reinforce my two points: a) any serious relationship discussion should happen face to face (not on the phone or skype) (I have not told him this before, but I think it’s the minimum our 13-year long relationship deserves) b) at this point I am not prepared to agree to a divorce. I feel that we have not tried enough to fix our marriage and while he had time to think about this, I have not had time to process things.

Any suggestions on how to handle this would be much appreciated!

(Ugh, how do I get read of that smiley face? I am definitely not smiling now)
